NAhv do jolt like tn hear about tho
Progs ' ' asked Hilly llumnus one night as
he kissed Nannie good-night for the fourth
and last time
"liecause, daddy.' we like to hear about
those things ivhich are not like oursehrs
Yes. and ve like to hear about our
selves sometimes "
"Yes. daddy, you are Always glad to
hear about yourself "
This made Mill), laugh very heartily, and
when ho nnlHlied he began the good-night
story
When Willie Treetoad woke up the big
Sloan was high up in the sky, and hu
could not think where he was.
"He looked ut Ids feet, and they seemed
unite white to him. but ho thought it
might be the sliNery moonlight Ho started
homeward, and when he knocked nt the
door his mother came In her dressing down,
and sha said to him. 'Who In the world
or what In the world nre oU?'
' 'l mi jour little Willie,' ho said
"I do not believe It. for my little Willie
Is green aud ou are white You frighten
me. and if you do not go away 1 will
IiaNe lo call my husband and he will shoo
on nn ay '
'What shall I do? What shill I do''
nsked Willie 'I iunb no place to go. and
1 knoNv you are my mother and this Is
my home."
" 'Sly little Willie could climb trees, and
I am sure ou cannot.' said Mrs. Treetoad
" Oh, yes, I can,' said tiie queer-looking
toad, as he scurried up the post on his
mothers front porch
"Then ou may come In and sleep In
the kitchen all night, but do not tell us
you are our Little Willie'
' "So Sirs Treetoad took him Into the kit
chen, and there he bad to stay alone all
night a
"When morning came Willie was up
bright and early and out on the front porch
He wanted to look at himself, if he could,
and get all the white off before his mother
and father came downstairs.
"So sooner had he got out on the itorch
than he suw the two Frog boys going by
'Oood roorilng. bdys,' he said
"We don't know ou,' said Jack Frog
Who are you, anywayt
' am Willi Treetoad Don't you know
me?'
"'I am sorry to say. vie don't If jou
are Willie Trtwtoad ou must be frostbitten,
for you are very white," said Jack Fcpg.
"t this Willi hopped into the house,
yelling for hhi mother "
